1t Came All Right.

Roodhouse Ol.) Eye, Sept. 80: A
great many people who have read in
this paper Of the drawing Of 5000
prize in the Louisiana State Lottery on
the 18th inst. by a ticket held by F.
Epstein, of this city, have been some
what incredulous in the matter and do
not believe that the money was actually
received here. In order to put The
matter beyond doubt reporter Of the
Eye interviewed Mr.. Epstein and was
shown a certificate of deposit in the
Roodhouse bank for the sum of 81, 900
and was assured that the money was
drawn by ticket number 1903 which
was held by him, jointly with seven
others who had formed domination
to buy tickets. Mr.. Epstein's statement
was also confirmed by the cashier Of
the bank.
Mr.. Epstein says he now knows BY
practical experience that any person
holding q lucky ticket in the old reli.
able Louisiana State Lottery, may rest
perfectly easy for they are sure to get
their money.
Mr.. DAVID Wilkinson, Of Patterson,
also held lucky ticket, and yesterday
received a draft for $500 Several
other parties in this city also drew APP
proclamation prizes for various sums
and all have received their money.

Bees Hate Black objects.

A bee owner relates a peculiar in.
stance of the bees hatred of black
objects. 1t became necessary in sdae
way to arrange something belonging
to the hive, when, like host of furies,
the enraged inmates flew out en- masse
and attacked the disturber of their
peace. Quick as thought the farmers
wife ran out and threw her white
apron over the husbands head.
Whereupon the bees did not alight on
him, but instead attacked two innocent
black hens who happened near by. and
stung them to death in less time than
it takes to write the story. Bees are
.kittle cattle" indeed, as the farmer
declared, yet bee culture has its charms
and is growing to be an industry
among women; and it is said that it can
be made very profitable if rightly

A REMARKABLE INVENTION.
An Electric Typewriter That Will be a
Rival of the Telephone.


a Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun says:
There is considerable talk in the Pat
ent Office just now concerning an in
vention patented recently, which. in
the opinion OF some, will be formid-
able rival of the telephone, Mr.. Bells
monopoly The invention is an cleo
trio typewriter. The instrument in
appearance somewhat resembles an or
binary mechanical typewriter. 1t has
keyboard, and the types are placed
on steel bars, which play upon CON-
mon centre, as is the case with the type
writer. The motive power used is cleo.
tricity, by means Of which evenness of
action is assured. No matter how
heavily or how lightly the keys are
struck the impression on the pa.
per is the same. A re-
markable feature of the in
v4ntion used as typewriter is that
the carriage moves automatically both
forward and backward. When the emo
OF the line is reached the carriage re
turns to the starting point without the
aid of the operator, and the paper bar
moves one notch, SO that Ill tnat is re-
quired of the operator is to depress the
keys. The most important field OF the
new invention is said to be in connec-
ton wi h the telegraph. 1t is said at
the Patent Office that the instrument
can be- used both as transmitter and
receiver of intelligence over a single
wire, no matter how great the distance
may be. The receiving instrument
does not require the attendance OF an
operator, but prints the dispatch au-
tomatically. The instruments at both
ends of the line print the dispatch sent,
and SO safeguard against mistakes is
provided. It is claimed that the cleo
trio typewriter will be valuable as n
local aid to business, and offers many
advantages over the telephone. One
advantage claimed for it is that
no matter whether person called up
up is at his olace of business or not
the message can be printed through the
medium of his type writer, and will he
there for his perusal on his return. TIL
dispatches printed are in letter form,
and not an endless tape. The instru
ment, which has been christened the
dynamograph, is considered by Patent
Office officials to be one of the great
est inventions upon which patents hav'
been issued. The electricians do not
stint their praise, aAd are positive that
the machine will greatly simplify bust
ness accommodation. Some of the
electricians of this city who have seen
the instrument. notably Professor Ber-
linger. of the Bell Telephone company.
state that the dynamograph is destined
to take its place as a powerful adjunct
to telegraphy, and will be by no means
a rival that the telephone can afford to
scorn. John Russell Young. ex-Minis-
ter to China. has taken hold of the new
invention and, and is president of the
the company which is to put it into
practic j operation.

Middle Names.

heard long argument once which
went to prove that every father who
did not give his son middle name
was greatly in error. Said the long
winded speaker, sit doesn't matter
about girls-girls marry and take an
other, but every man, to amount to
anything, should have middle letter.
and it's mean if his father doesn't give
him one. Think of James Brown rum
ming for Congress. He'd stand 40
per cent better chance If his name hap
pened to be James K. Brown
After he had chad his say" and it
did seem for minute as if he had the
right on his side, little man in tho
corner rose for information with re-
gard to Henry Clay, Daniel Webster
and Charles Summer, and Washington
Irving, and John Adams, not to mem
ton tie immortal George or Honest
Abe" or even the present incumbent
of the White House, and to say nothing
Of Napoleon Bonaparte. The conclu-
sion Of the whole matter seems to be,
after all, that our names for good or
bad are what we make them. ~ Mrs.

Antidotes for Pests.

The aroma of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma of black wal
nut leaves is fatal to feas. It is a
matter of common observation that
persons engaged in the business Of
making shingles from odoriferous
cypress timber in malarial districts
are rarely, if ever, affected by malarial
diseases; and that persons engaged in
distilling turpentine do not sutferfrom
either malarial diseases or c0nsump-
ton. 1t is said that when cholera
was epidemic in Memphis, Tenn, per-
sons working in livery stables were
entirely exempt from it. Is is affirmed
that since the destruction Of the Glove
trees on the Island of Ternate. the
colony has suffered from epidemics un-
known before; and in times when
cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris, those employed in perfumery
factories have escaped its rayages.

By way of the Savannah News,

nerth. come this as folio vs.:
just before the recent flood in Au-
gusta lady living in that city was
quite i'll. Her Illness baffied the best
physicians Of the city, and on two or
three occasions her death was momen-
tarily expected. During all this tine
the women remained perfectly con-
scious, and freely conyersed with the
doctors about herself. From them she
ascertained that her condition was
something new in their profession. One
day, when two of the most prominent:
physicians of the city were sitting be-
side her bed, she turned to one sayingt
doctor, my case puzzles you all,
doesn't itp'' sit does, indeed" re-
piled the doctor, ssand we have never

deed, replied the doctor, a bright smile
spreading over his face. The lady then
astonished the two gentlemen by offer
ing to give them her body after death.
At first the physicians would not listen
to the proposition, but the lady insist
ed. and, calling her husband, consulted
with him about the matter in the pres.
ence of the doctors. OF course, the
husband would not consent. The lady
insisted, and finally succeeded in over
tiding not only the objection Of her
husband but that of the physicians who
sided with him. That evening law
yer was sent for. and a deed of gift of
her body to the physicians to be used
for scientific purposes was made out
and signed. After the signing the lady
appeared happier and better than she
had for weeks. On the next day she
began to improve, and in short time
astonished all by getting well. After
recovering her health she became un-
easy about the deed of gift she had
signed. and, notwithstanding the fact
that the deed was returned to her, fin
ally prevailed on her husband to move
away from Augusta, saying she feared
her body would be taken from the
grave if she were buried in that
place.

Men of Genus.

Gentleman's Magazine: So far from
being narrow the man of genius must,
one should say, be bro I'D in the range
OF his conception. and if not in that, OF
his execution. There is sense, in
deed. in which every artist would be
the gamer by becoming universal.
Thus the poet and the painter may
each profit from full and exact study
of the facts of natural science. But
then the artistic benefit depends on the
SUBJECT being studied not as savant
would study it, merely for the sake OF
precise knowledge, but for the sake of
the poetical or pictorial aspect, rela-
tlons and suggestions which the facts
present. So true is this that one is
hardly going 90 far in laying it down
as a canon that painter ought not to
be good reasoner on the causes of
natural phenomena, and that painter
ought not TO be an authority in the
realm, say, of purely historical and
ethical discussion.
The lives of great men have often
shown us strange and perverse incli-
nation to break through the bonds of
their proper domain. More than one
man of undoubted genius has, it IS
averred, expressed regret that he
had not attained distinction
in some other line than
his own. Wolfe, when actually en-
gagged in his last GROWING feat of gen.
eralship, is said to have declared that
he would rather have written Gray's
..Elegy." Goethe, not satisfied to be
the greatest of German poets, was am
bisious to become savant as well.
Such facts appear at first sight to
contradict our theory that superlative
performance of any kind implies a cor
responding concentration of impulse.
Yet the contradiction is only apparent.
We may be sure that Wolfe-who, by
the by, became a soldier soon after he
was thirteen was, on the whole, more
passionately DESTROYS of military than
of poetic distinction, just as we know
that in Goethe the poetic impulse was
the most potent and permanent. Such
occasional rowing ambitions may mean
nothing more than that the great man,
like the small one. is apt to over esti-
mate what lies beyond bis reach, or
perhaps, that he more than common
men. Is aware of the limitations that
hem him in. and is now and again dis
posed to rebel against them.

KNITTED UNDERvEsTS.
A Prime Necessity to Every woman's
Wardrobe.

pair of knitted undervests are not
only desirable addition but
prime necessity to every woman's
wardrobe. The machine made ones
can be bought very cheaply, but most
of them shrink when laundried, on ac-
count of the wool of which they are
made, and soon become too small for
the wearer. The hand made ones are
costly, but if made at home the money
outlay will not exceed that for the in
ferior machine made garments, while
such wool may be selected as will wash
and not shrink. Besides, piece Of
knitted or crohet is the most conven-
lent ..pick-up work. and the time
thus consumed will not be missed.
As to the wool, there are several
sorts that will not shrink. For the
light vest perhaps .sLady Grey is as
good as any, being very soft and fine.
1t is made in Boston and is easily OBJ
tainable in ancy work shops. For
heavy vests the Starlight Scotch yarn.
also made in this country, will be found
desirable. Eight skeins of the finer
wool will be required for medium
sized high-necked and long-sleeved
vest, and a pair of No. rubber
knitting needles. Begin at the bottom
of the back by casting up eighty
stitches, and on these stitches knit
thirty rows plain. Then begin rubbing

seam 100 rows. Then knit SO
that three seam rows will come
on the wrong side, and commence
block or checker work. To do this knit
3 plain, sea 5, repeating all across.
Do more rows exactly the same. Then
knit seam and 5 plain TO begin the
second row of blocks, repeat all across,
and knit rows more like it. Eight
rows of blocks are knit In this way.
Then knit % plain rows; form one
shoulder by knitting 25 stitches, 5 plain

loosely 80 stitches, and begin the other
shoulder the same as the first. repeat

will eat. If a succession OF extra warm
days come it may be necessary to re-
duce the food little in quantity, or

digest as much in warm as in cool
weather. The skilful feeder will
see his animals at each feed

total omission of one meal, which is
better than merely reducing the quar-
